Israel ordered Doctors Without Borders to halt all Gaza operations and withdraw by February 28, after MSF refused to submit staff lists Israel demanded — a requirement the organization says endangers aid workers in a territory where 500+ humanitarian workers have already been killed.
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese stated that Israel has no legal authority to bar humanitarian workers from Gaza — because the occupation itself is illegal under the ICJ’s 2024 ruling, and with it the authority Israel claims to expel the 37 aid organizations now facing a March 1 ban.
USAID staff filed an internal cable in early 2024 describing northern Gaza as an ‘apocalyptic wasteland’ with bones in the streets and catastrophic food shortages — then US Ambassador Jack Lew and his deputy blocked the cable’s circulation inside government, claiming it lacked balance.
Protests erupted in Utrecht, Netherlands after reports emerged of racist police violence targeting two Muslim women. The incident has drawn attention to a broader pattern of Islamophobia and racial profiling affecting Muslim communities across Europe — including discriminatory treatment of hijab-wearing women in schools and public life.
The CPJ’s 2025 annual census ranks Israel as the world’s third-worst jailer of journalists, with 29 Palestinian journalists behind bars — most in administrative detention without charge — while at least 265 Palestinian journalists have been killed and international press access remains banned.
The UN reports that more than 37,000 Palestinians were displaced in the West Bank in 2025 — a record — driven by Israeli military operations, 1,800+ settler attacks, and demolitions. The pace has continued into 2026 as Israel advances plans to register occupied land.
Eighty-six people were arrested outside HMP Wormwood Scrubs for protesting the detention of Palestine Action hunger striker Umer Khalid — who was refusing water and had ‘days left to live’ — under a terrorist designation a British court would rule unlawful three weeks later.
The UN is calling the occupied West Bank’s current crisis the worst since 1967 — with 37,000+ Palestinians displaced in 2025, record settler violence, military operations destroying refugee camps, and a new land registry plan condemned by 80+ countries as de facto annexation.
